​Painting is a visual conversation, a sensational dance, a moment, a feeling, an experience. ​I love colour and the richness of ambiguity.​The spontaneous mark and the serendipitous scratch mingle with frank opaque passages. The journey unfolds...​

​Originally from Montreal, Quebec, Sara moved to the beautiful west coast of Canada in 1991 to complete her PhD in developmental psychology at Simon Fraser University. After several years of research, she decided to dedicate her full attention to her then young family and to art-making.

Sara enjoys the versatility of acrylics and paint large and loose, using opaque passages and transparent washes, accenting or masking chaotic lines, and she holds a special space for the circular form which to her represents a vessel, a gently held handful, an embrace, a moment. Her latest passion is cold wax and oil which combines the butteriness of wax and the luscious quality of oil to create textures for scraping, scratching and over-laying large sections with a calming passage. A beautiful discovery for her!
